Rod Nelson, Chief Test & Support Engineer: It has been a good day with Alex in the car, his first time in a Williams. He has done quite a bit in the simulator back in Grove but it’s a bit different when you actually get in the car. We have been impressed with his speed and maturity throughout the day and he has helped us with some chassis and aero work. It has been a positive day and he has done a really good job.

Alex Lynn: I didn’t really sleep that well last night as I was so excited about today. It has been an amazing day and great to get behind the wheel of the FW37. We managed to get through a really important schedule and I completed a number of runs in the car. The team were happy with how we got on and with my performance, so all-in-all it has been a really positive day.
